Looks like a Tuxedo Park

The early CJ5 website (http://www.earlycj5.com/history/tuxedo-park-mark-iii-and-mark-iv-guide/) has a nice post on the Tuxedo Park packages. That rear chrome bumper and the cream/white grille both appear to be signs that suggest tuxedo park. Anything else you see that I'm missing? Note that the Tuxedo Park packages weren't available until 1961, so either the year is incorrect, the bumper (and other items?) were added later, OR this is an amalgamation of 2 or more jeeps. Good catch!

Now I have a question .... did the chrome bumpers only come on the Mark IV? After re-reading through the 'tuxedo park guide', that is the impression I get.
